[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 6347580, member: 63245"] First off, to the people saying you will never get a game that needs to be rebooted every few years. Monopoly. Been new variations but the classic game has remained the same. Also chess. So that completely destroys that argument. Why do we not want a game to be rebooted? Because I hate rebuying my crap every few years. Pick an edition and stick with it for the love of god! Yes I know that no one is going to come and take my stuff, but to that I say I want to support an edition that is getting support with new things. Old editions don't get new things, only the current edition. If you like all your old stuff and don't need new stuff, GREAT, but it's not for me. 4e did this crap. I love 4e but okay, so let's take a little trip down memory lane. 3.x was fading away and 4e was announced. It supposedly fixed all the brokenness of 3.x! GREAT! Bring on the edition! We got new stuff, it was all pretty balanced, but then Wizards ADD kicked in. They started saying LOOK LOOK! LOOK AT ESSENTIALS THIS NEW THING! And pretty much completely revamped 4e into 4.5. Don't say it didn't look at all the errata, it completely and utterly changed the PHB just as 3.x did. They started doing subclasses and changing abilities (magic missile anyone?). They promised essentials was going to be the evergreen edition, but then LOOK LOOK LOOK! D&D NEXT and 5e! That's fine just stick with a damn edition for like... 10-15 years. PLEASE! That's all I ask. 4e started getting good at the end. They were trying new things with the system. I liked essentials and I liked 4e, but it was just LOOK LOOK LOOK at this new thing! They never finished epic level play with a DMG 3. Ugh it's irritating to say the least. I am in love with 5e, I just really hope they stick with it.... [/QUOTE]
